## What is Ryuusei for AniList?

Ryuusei is a detailed and quick-to-use app for AniList.co—a website to track, share, and discover anime and manga.

• Quick to Use - The Dashboard shows you all the things you're currently watching and reading, and lets you quickly update your progress and score. Home Screen widgets show at a glance when anime you're watching air next.

• Switch Between Anime and Manga - Simply swipe or tap to switch between anime and manga for the page you're on.

• See Everything - Look through everything you have on your lists, including the ability to filter, sort, and search. Filters also support your custom lists! Use the index on the right to quickly scroll through that massive backlog you'll never get to. The advanced list entry editor lets you view and edit detailed info about your list items: start / end dates, rewatch count, advanced scores, and notes.

• Tons of Detail - Dive into details about when an item aired, alternate titles, tags, recommendations, related items, characters and voice actors, producers, and more.

• People Too - Tap on voice actors and staff to see what else they've worked on. Tap on characters to see all the anime and manga they appear in. Add media to your list as you go. Tap on a tab at the bottom to get yourself out of the rabbit hole you went down.

• And Even Songs - Stargazer members can see opening and ending songs for anime, quickly copy song details, and find links to listen on multiple streaming services (when available)

• Discover New Media - See what's popular this season, and what has stayed popular over time.

• Find What You're Looking For - Search for anime, manga, staff, characters, studios, and other users. Use advanced filters to find exactly what you want. 

• Get Notified - See notifications about things like new seasons or adaptations of series you follow, new episodes of currently-airing shows you're watching, likes/replies on your status messages and forum posts, and more. Plus get system notifications when new episodes of your anime air. Stargazer members can get system notifications for all AniList notifications!

• Crunch Numbers - Get statistics on your anime and manga habit. Check out other users' stats and follow them if they have good taste.

• See Your History - Items you view throughout the app are saved in your browsing history so you can easily get back to them later. You can always see the most recent 5 items in your history, and Stargazer members can see a full 30 days of history.

### 4/5 — Really useful but its missing a lot of features from the site

*2026-03-19, version 2.13.1*

I can try to name the ones coming to mind for being most annoying. No way to access the advanced rating, Most profile features are missing, and a lot of stats are seemingly missing too. Still good though

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-10-27, version 2.12*

It’s good and is quite easy and convenient

### 4/5 — Good but needs a feature

*2025-09-30, version 2.12*

It needs a filter option for favorites, otherwise it‘s good

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-09-30, version 2.12*

Idk what else to say but I really love the App. I mainly use the Widged to always see what airs next from the anime im currently watching.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-25, version 2.9*

I like it almost as much as the AniList website. Was looking for a while for an iOS application and this one is great.

### 5/5 — Great companion app to AniList

*2024-10-21*

Clean and responsive UI with a great set of features you would expect to find as a user on AniList. I find myself using this daily to search, add, and update my entires. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2024-09-26, version 2.6.2*

It has a really good ui

### 4/5 — Great app but need few features

*2024-08-08, version 2.6.1*

The app is great it is one of the best anime tracking app on iOS no doubt. But it needs few things. First thing is, there is no section in which we can see our favourite anime. Secondly, the updates came very late. Rest the app is very good.

### 5/5 — Best Anilist App

*2024-07-01, version 2.6.1*

I've tried so many different Anilist apps and all of them lack some features. But this one has everything I need and the developer keeps updating the app with new features. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — It’s a decent interface

*2024-04-13, version 2.6*

It’s nice to have a means of connecting to AniList through an app instead of using it in the browser all the time. I appreciate that it shows you on the dashboard how many days there are to the next episode.

Edit: Along with the dev response, I’ve noticed the issues I wrote down using the website in browser in addition to using it through the app and removed the issues I listed.
